This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

No quibble with your point about his lack of such wins. by potatohouse
But I think using that metric to holistically judge "worthiness" gets to a level of subjectivity in schedule analysis that goes far beyond possible consensus. I am generally comfortable with the overall quality of Notre Dame's schedules vis-a-vis the field. "Earning the right" to compete for a championship can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Clemson has zero "signature" regular season wins over the past three years. And yet they've qualified all three times. I see nothing about Ryan Day's regular season accomplishments in 2019 and 2020 that differentiate him from what Kelly did in 2018 and 2020.
The difference lies with what happened next.
